Feeling Good!

We started with I don’t know how much weight on the bar (35 lbs maybe) and it was really easy. Okay, so lets not say easy, lets say not difficult… That is what I told my trainer anyway. We did 2 sets and after the 2nd set they were still really not difficult at all. So he added weight! Woohoo! Up to a varsity bar. I know most people are saying what is the big deal. Well it is visible progress! And I like doing clean and jerks. And even after the 2nd set with the varsity bar. They were getting harder, but still felt good. =)

10 clean/jerk (2 sets at 35 / 2 sets at 45)

10 throwups with 6lb ball (wall balls)

10 push ups

100 jump ropes

I did 4 sets of these.

The cleans felt good. Form felt good. Need to keep remembering to pull my elbows up higher. I get lazy with that when i start getting tired. The wall balls actually started to feel easier after doing the 45 lbs cleans. The ball felt extremely light. Pushups are kicking my butt. I am not sure why but they are getting harder again. =( Must do more of them in between training! So jump rope… This is so funny. The first set sucked. I couldn’t get coordination down to save my life. The 2nd set: all 100 in one go! 3rd set… Messed up on number 2. kept struggling through 40.. Then did a huge set from 40-94! Not too shabby. The last set was touch and go.

Cardio: Treadmill: 5 minutes at 15 resistance 2 minutes at 1 resistance. Waled at a 3.0 speed. Did that 3 times. I had to stop between the 2nd and 3rd set because I could feel my pulse behind my eye balls and that didn’t seem so good. So I sat down for a few minutes Let my pulse come down a bit and started up again.
